The Théau Men's Boxer Shorts Sewing Pattern by Maéli Paris is a comfortable and beginner-friendly pattern for sewing a classic pair of men's boxer shorts.

Théau features a slightly relaxed straight fit, elasticated waistband and faux front fly finished with three decorative buttons. Its simple construction makes it an approachable first menswear project while creating a practical everyday garment.

Requiring relatively little fabric, Théau is also particularly well suited to upcycling. Lightweight cotton shirts, vintage sheets and other soft woven fabrics can easily be transformed into a comfortable pair of handmade boxer shorts.
